So, the comic was in ruins. Dr. Light was dead, the main character was missing, and no one seemed to care. The only way to fix things and get the story back on track was divine intervention in the form of the Author. But since he/I hadn't been doing the comic that long, the wrong sound effect is used. In hindsight, it's a fairly lame joke.

And the "sacking of the sound guy" in the title is, of course, an allusion to the opening credits in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
